Storm Eleanor has ripped through Cornwall and left a trail of destruction in its path.

Now businesses and local authorities are looking at weeks if not months to repair sea defences, harbour walls and replenish stock.

But getting back on their feet and ensuring residents and holidaymakers are safe will come at a huge cost and for many the bill could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The storm, which saw 30ft waves crash onto the north coast, 80mph winds, heavy rain and flooding to seaside and river properties, caused havoc across much of Cornwall when it hit with full force this week.

While the worst looks set to have passed, flood warnings and alerts remain in place from the Environment Agency, especially around high tide.

The warning is for much of the north coast from Land’s End to Chapel Porth at St Agnes, but it is the village of Portreath where there is real concern.

There is also a second flood warning - meaning immediate action is required - for the River Lynher from Berriowbridge to Notter Bridge in the far east of the county.

A yellow wind warning and a host of flood alerts - which mean 'be prepared' - remain in place from the Met Office and the Environment Agency (EA).

A Met Office forecaster said: "A spell of strong and gusty winds is expected to move eastwards during Thursday. Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely with some journeys taking longer.

"Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are also possible. There is also the potential for some short term loss of power supplies.

"It is likely that some coastal routes, seafronts and coastal communities exposed to these winds will be affected by spray and/or large waves."

Here are five businesses and facilities that have been damaged or destroyed by Storm Eleanor which could take weeks or months to repair.
